A Prayer for My Sister

Tomorrow (Monday) my older sister, Kelly, will be going in for major back surgery. They are attempting to correct a bulging disc she has been dealing with in her back for a long time. She has seen several physical therapists, tried different exercises and been on countless pain medications and muscle relaxers. It has caused her chronic pain and severely altered her quality of life. And this is a woman who has a VERY high pain tolerance! Yet, despite her physical struggles, she has continued to praise the Lord and serve others…what an amazing example!!

So, it is my prayer that the surgery not only be a success, but that the recovery will go smoothly and she will heal 100%. It is so hard knowing that she is going through something like this and I cannot be there to help in some way. But, I know that God will continue to be her strength and her "Jehovah-Rapha" (the Lord who heals).
